Cooking Equipment

Isn't gas cooking more efficient than electric?

No. In every case more heat is absorbed by the food cooked on electric than that cooked on gas. The equation for measuring efficiency, as established by the University of Minnesota 1984 is: the amount of heat energy (BTUs) consumed by the cooking process divided by the amount of heat absorbed by the food, all times 100.
